WWII Escape Room: Escape From the Smithsonian

There are many concepts to know and understand about WWII, but unless you are a military historian, a student can be overwhelmed. Most United States History classes focus on how the United States mobilized for war and how it was dealt with on the home front. This escape room deals with a culmination of the state standards that cover WWII. Students go into different rooms where they have to go to hyperlinks and “data mine” various elements of WII. After successfully completing there tasks, they are given a rebus puzzle to solve. At the end, and having completed all rebus puzzles, there is one last message that will enable them to escape this assignment. The activity is in Word as well as PDF so you as a teacher can change any parts of it. As I said in one of the teacher instructions, “You bought it, you can change it.” :-)
